Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aging is an inevitable part of our lifespan. This biological process is also a major risk factor for the development of many diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and several cancer types. In many parts of the world, the population is aging rapidly. The socio-economic costs of managing this process and related diseases can be enormous. To better manage this challenge, it is important for us to better understand and regulate the aging process. Years of research have revealed several biological hallmarks of aging. Many of these are connected with metabolism and dysfunction in proteostasis. This Special Issue is devoted to understanding age-related changes in proteostasis and the effects on cellular and physiological functions.
